1 Corinthians 10:6
1 Corinthians 10:6 New International Version (NIV)
Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did.
1 Corinthians 10:6-10 The Message (MSG)
The same thing could happen to us. We must be on guard so that we never get caught up in wanting our own way as they did. And we must not turn our religion into a circus as they did—“First the people partied, then they threw a dance.” We must not be sexually promiscuous—they paid for that, remember, with 23,000 deaths in one day! We must never try to get Christ to serve us instead of us serving him; they tried it, and God launched an epidemic of poisonous snakes. We must be careful not to stir up discontent; discontent destroyed them.
